- - = + 9-(-4)= 9+4 so minus minus becomes plus. and 13 is the answer.

When subtracting integers, you add by the opposite sign. Right now, you are subtracting 9 by -4. Change this to adding 9 + (+4). Of course, 9 + 4 = 13.

The answer is 13 or D.

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that $\pi = 0.08$

98% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.02$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99$ , so $Z = 2.327$ .

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}$

$0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2$

$n = 996.3$

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.
